Thank you @rubencress! I'm glad I had the honour of being the first to welcome you to Steemit. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Given our SP differential, though, I am perplexed at your decision to send me your Steem instead of powering it up yourself. You need it more than I do!
Since you say "never refuse a gift," though... I will graciously accept it, power it up, and use it to help me keep upvoting all this awesome content you've been creating for our platform.
Good luck on your quest to one day outrank @acidyo in vesting shares. Maybe if we team up and sell all of our marketable organs, we can take him down together :)

Well... that's what the after effects could be whenever you welcome a stranger. I hope that a lot of people here on Steemit will remember and realize to whom they 'own' their ' successes' to, small or big.
I know I could use the Steem to power-up myself, I also know that there are a lot of people that could use that 1 Steem even more than you or me. The main reason that I'm giving this to you, and all the other people mentioned above, is mostly because the steps that I took, helped me out a lot. This 'experience' is what I can offer to newcomers, heck, I'm a newcomer myself. The Steem that I have sent, is just a simple symbolic gesture to show that you can achieve much more with 'giving' than only thinking/focussing on receiving. And with giving, I mean; welcoming a stranger, asking for help, acknowledging your mistakes, and so on.
We all 'need money' to survive in this dualistic world we live in. You are either poor or rich. I think that the first focus most people have here on Steemit, is being filtered because of the seduction of 'money'. If you limit yourself because you think/feel/believe you do not earn enough on Steemit, then there is less room for the positive aspects of your self-esteem (improvement/motivation/inspiration/dedication) and more room for negativity (failure/regret/disappointment, and that is unhealthy for the mind).
Keep doing what you're doing, you have been a great help to me.

Good tips. Such a high up-vote at just 50 reputation is a big deal. You ought to be a great curator from what I read. Some curation tips would help.
I have limited areas of expertise and thus don't have much to write about. Curation is my best shot here.

Hey there, thanks for digging in. Since I am new to the platform I have not yet encouraged myself to take a deeper look into the curation part of Steemit, but instead, I have focussed on the quality of my posts. I am still not sure how rewarding based on curation is being calculated (still learning). But what I do know, if I am not mistaken, is that within the first 30 minutes after posting, your upvote is given a penalty on your own curation reward, which means that a cut of the 25% curation reward-pool, is added to the author reward-pool instead (which is not a bad thing to do if you consider that the post is valuable and the author him/herself is currently undervalued).

Absolutely correct. We don't want to get into details of the algorithm. You have got the gist of it and that's more than enough as a user.

Ahh haha yes!! Oh Ruben I have a tale to tell. I am a late bloomer.
Unfortunately, my bank card was stolen here last year in Cambodia as some arse schmuck broke into my flat and stole my belongings.
Afterwards I heard about crypto currency and wanted to get some, but I couldn't purchase any because of the theft.
Now I have been super lucky on Dsound and have been investing my rewards in a little different currency just so I have some for back up. I still have no bankcard!
Now I am happy with what I have I will be powering up daily 100%.
This is all quite new to me and am still learning about crypto and it's values. I'm so 1980's :)
So any tips will be highly appreciated ;)

Haha damnnn?! You've been on the road without a bank-card for over a year? How do you pay for things? The best 'tip' that I can give you, is to stay humble, focused on your talent and not the money, and connect with other Steemians you can identify yourself with.

I am no a professional photographer, but I have flair for it. It is something I always think about going into, but the resources is reallt dragging me the other way.

About photography, i have this silly sarcastic langual easy step to step guide on how you can improve your smartphone photography. Technology is going nuts, so you might not have the rescources right now that you want to have, but its never too late to learn and get a better understanding about technique rather than relying on the gear you have.
